integrated Wapiti-2.2.1 into OpenVAS

JDP

• Download wapiti from sourceforge:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/ ... oad?_test=nocounter
• Extract to /usr/local/
• Change owner of wapiti directory to root:
  root@localhost:~# chown -R root:root /usr/local/wapiti-2.2.1/
• Make wapiti.py and vulnerability.py executable:
  root@localhost:~# chmod 755 /usr/local/wapiti-2.2.1/src/wapiti.py
  root@localhost:~# chmod 755 /usr/local/wapiti-2.2.1/src/vulnerability.py
• Create wapiti script in /usr/bin
  root@localhost:~# touch /usr/bin/wapiti
  root@localhost:~# vi /usr/bin/wapiti
• Add this to the script:
  [code=dos]#!/bin/sh
  cd /usr/local/wapiti-2.2.1/src/
  ./wapiti.py $*[/code]
• Check permissions and owner:
  root@localhost:~# ls -ld /usr/bin/wapiti
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59 2012-04-10 10:42 /usr/bin/wapiti
• Now when you run a relevant Openvas scan, you should see the following in the report (note my scan detected no wapiti vulnerabilities):
  Low
  NVT: wapiti (NASL wrapper)
  Here is the wapiti report:
